So the guys at Bethesda let it slip a few months ago that Elder Scrolls V was in the works for 2010, and a friend said he read a possible release in 2009... I'm looking for the article, but I'm friggin' STOKED about a new Elder Scrolls game coming out in the next 12-18 months!!!

I think they can learn a lot with the successes and failures of their previous landmark releases like Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3 and make ESV an absolute KICK ASS game!

Seriously. You get to a point where you don't even bother picking up loot anymore, and by focusing on blacksmithing and enchanting you can make far better armor and weapons than you'll find anywhere in the game. The one skill tree I never bother to upgrade is bartering.

I don't use enchanting. I am a Nord that has an extreme hatred of magic.
